IT’S NOT VERY often you see Lionel Messi lose his temper like this.
Barcelona faced Roma in the 50th Trofeo Joan Gamper, an annual pre-season friendly involving the Catalan Giants, and won out 3-0 winners thanks to goals from Neymar, Messi and Ivan Rakitic.
However, their Argentine star was lucky to avoid being sent off when he appeared to headbutt former Newcastle defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa before grabbing the Frenchman by the throat. Both players were shown yellow cards.
